Roll Call: Assembly votes on minimum wage hike

The measure, which raises the wage from $7.25 to $9 per hour and indexes it to automatically rise with inflation, passed the Assembly 102-44. It was almost a perfect party-line vote, with Democrats in favor and Republicans against.

One Republican, John Ceretto, voted yes. Three Democrats — Robin Schimminger and Dennis Gabryszak from the Buffalo area, and Bill Magee from Oneida County — voted no.
